Product Manager

Shape is a startup that was created from the industry, for the industry. Our mission is to rethink operations of industrial assets for the digital age, making them more efficient, more transparent, and safer. A core part of this transformation is to optimize and automate how people make decisions.
With the advent of the Internet of Things, workers in the industrial sector started having access to a huge amount of data. However, most still do not have the tools to make good use of it: going from data to insight, and from insight to action is a time-consuming and error-prone process. Our Machine Learning-enabled products exist to address these gaps.
In particular, we are hiring someone who will lead the development of Shape Aura, our product for greenhouse gases emissions reduction and energy efficiency optimization. This is a product that exists at the intersection of first-principles process simulation and AI, delivering value through an objective and non-obstructive experience for industrial operations teams.
This person will work in a hybrid model (2 days per week at the office), based in either São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro, depending on their preference.
**You will**:
- Define the long-term product vision, objectives, success metrics, and strategy for one or more of Shape's digital products.

- Collaborate with Engineering and Design colleagues to identify opportunities, and then prototype and validate solutions with users.
- Define quarterly goals and support your peer in Engineering to write concrete delivery plans for them.
